International Day of Conscience

Public lecture on Transhumanism and Artificial Intelligence (AI) at Hillsdale College . held by Aaron Kheriaty from the Ethics and Public Policy Center . This speech was given during the seminar on “ Artificial Intelligence ” The philosophy of death attempts to determine what it is for people and other living things to die and to be mortal, how and the extent to which death, mortality, and posthumous events benefit or harm those who die, and the morality of killing. Transhumanism is the belief that humanity can evolve beyond its limitations — chiefly, death — using technology. It is deeply misguided. AI is a technology that allows you to generate, classify, and perform tasks like image analysis and speech recognition.

Consciousness is not a process in the brain but a kind of behavior that, of course, is controlled by the brain like any other behavior. Human consciousness emerges on the interface between three components of animal behavior: communication, play, and the use of tools. These three components interact on the basis of anticipatory behavioral control, which is common for all complex forms of animal life.  All three do not exclusively distinguish our close relatives, i.e., primates, but are broadly presented among various species of mammals, birds, and even cephalopods; however, their particular combination in humans is unique. The interaction between communication and play yields symbolic games, most importantly language ; the interaction between symbols and tools results in human praxis.  Taken together, this gives rise to a mechanism that allows a creature, instead of performing controlling actions overtly, to play forward the corresponding behavioral options in a “second ...
